Please share my newest listing! 🌊 ☀️

293 River Rd
Eliot, ME 03903

Discover an increasingly rare opportunity to own 4 acres of prime waterfront land in Eliot, ME. Offering an extraordinary 456 feet of frontage on the Piscataqua River. Westerly facing and perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking sunsets night after night. This exceptional property is ready for your dream waterfront retreat, private estate, or multi-generational family compound. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the newly built 100-foot pier complete with a 40-foot gangway and two floats extending approximately 150 feet offshore as well as a mooring. The dock is also set up for electricity and fresh water, creating a turn-key setup for your waterfront lifestyle. Public water is available at the street and ready for connection, with test pits already completed to help streamline the building process. Large waterfront parcels of this caliber are becoming increasingly scarce. Enjoy the perfect blend of privacy and convenience with just a quick boat ride to downtown Portsmouth, Dover, Newington, Newmarket and direct access to the open ocean. Please note- some photos have been altered and include a home that is not on the vacant lot, to give a visual of what potential there is. This lot does not include a new construction home and is raw land.

Congratulations to my sellers on accepting a fantastic offer on their 6-acre parcel of land! This wasn’t your average piece of property. We knew it would take a very specific buyer with the vision, means, and resources to truly maximize the incredible potential of the bank-run gravel located on the parcel.

To the average person, it may have just looked like a big pile of dirt… but to the right buyer, they saw exactly what it was: opportunity! Well, we couldn’t have found a better buyer!

Huge shoutout to and his incredible team for absolutely knocking this one out of the park!

Getting my buyers cleared to close only 12 days after going under contract and nearly a month before closing day! In real estate, communication, attention to detail, and efficiency matter, and AJ’s team delivered on all of it.

My clients were in great hands every step of the way, and having lending partners who make the process smooth and stress-free makes all the difference. Thank you for your hard work, responsiveness, and dedication to taking care of our clients. This is a prime example of why AJ and his team have been my go to lender for years!

1- 🎨 Bold Paint Colors
Bright reds, dark purples, neon colors, or heavily personalized wallpaper can make it difficult for buyers to picture themselves living in the home. Sellers often say, “They can just repaint it,” but buyers immediately start calculating the time, effort, and cost involved. Light, bright neutral colors create a clean slate and allow buyers to focus on the space itself, imagining their furniture, their décor, and their future in the home.

2- 🐾 Smoke or Pet Odors
Lingering cigarette smoke, strong pet odors, or musty smells are one of the fastest ways to lose a buyer emotionally. Even if the home is structurally sound, buyers often assume there may be hidden issues behind the smell. First impressions matter, and scent plays a major role in that. This doesn’t mean you should load each room with Plug-Ins- have your home professionally deep cleaned, rent a carpet shampooer, change the filter in your heating system, remove any window fixtures that could hold in the smell.

3- 💡 Outdated Fixtures & Finishes
Old brass fixtures, dated lighting, worn countertops, popcorn ceilings, old carpet, or rusty baseboard heaters can make a home feel neglected and outdated. Simple updates like replacing light fixtures, cabinet hardware, or freshening up finishes can go a long way and instantly make a home feel more modern and cared for.

4- 📦 Clutter & Too Much Furniture
Overfilled closets, crowded countertops, excessive décor, and oversized furniture make rooms feel smaller than they really are. Buyers want to focus on the home, not the homeowner’s belongings. Creating open, clean spaces helps buyers mentally move themselves into the home instead. Renting a storage unit, selling or donating excess furniture will help!

5- ✨ Lack of Cleanliness
Dirty baseboards, stained carpets, dusty vents, greasy kitchens, or unclean bathrooms immediately raise red flags. I hear buyers say all the time: “If this is how the home looks for showings, I can only imagine how it looked before.” Having your home professionally deep cleaned and smelling fresh before photos and showings can make a massive impact.
